From seedlings to harvest..
I forgot to mention that almost half of the clones were takin from the unused part of a cutting. What I mean by that is for a clone, I would cut a 5 - 10 inch branch off, at the node of a main branch. (These little 5 - 10 inch branches dont produce a lot of bud and take up alot of the energy, so i just snip the whole thing off). Then growers would usually cut it in half and only use the top half of it for a clone. Then I figured why not try and clone the unused part as well and if it works it will start out as 2 tops, just like when u top a plant.

Bottom Half

You can see between the 2 tops where the first clone was takin from.
The "bottom half" literally started out as a stem with one little leaf, thats it. The tops are all new growth that wasnt there before.
Every single cutting rooted and they are all super healthy, and I was surprised to find out that the "bottom half" clones, actually rooted faster and grew alot faster too!
The lesson from all of this, if you clone a lot and you only use the tops, and you throw the rest away thinking u cant clone it, DONT! Use the unused portion of the cutting so you can get 2 clones out of 1 branch! Even if its just a stem with no leaves, just try it! I had a 100% success rate. :thumbsup:MrGrowBig Reviewed by MrGrowBig on . From seedlings to harvest.. Spouted on april 1st. Used miracle grow potting soil. Barely any nutes, just FF grow big every once n awhile, but I really didnt like the burn and deficiencies it would cause. Mostly just water and sun. Two are an unknown purple sativa, and the mini christmas tree is a grand daddy purple indica that is 2 weeks or so younger. In the next few weeks I'll be transplanting the unknowns into 20g smart pots with FF ocean forest soil, and for flowering nutes, ill be using some fox farm organic stuff. Rating: 5
